    Summary

    “I want to see him,” Andrew decides.

    “They won’t let you,” Wymack tells him.

    Andrew grits out, “They don’t get to decide that.”

    Wymack’s eyes never stop searching him. “They do.”

    Andrew can’t look at anything. He sounds awfully, condemningly and absolutely indifferent. “They don’t get to decide he’s dead.”

    “They did,” Wymack says.

    A hospital has never been so fucking quiet.

    Or Neil dies in Baltimore but doesn’t quite leave. This a look into the complexity of Andrew’s trauma, grief, and psychosis that manifests itself as the undying ghost of Neil Josten. Reality and sanity are fragile concepts that Andrew isn’t too concerned about anymore; not if it means never letting Neil go, again and again and again. He made a promise, after all.

    Summary

    Three things happen as Eddie walks through the door of the dentist’s office:

    1. the entire waiting room turns to look at him as if they were expecting a celebrity

    2. the flustered receptionist looks up, sees Eddie, and says “oh thank god”

    3. what is unmistakably Buck’s voice booms down the hall, slurred, but clear as day

    Or, Buck gets his wisdom teeth removed. He loves his family *very* loudly.

    Summary

    “We were friends in high school,” Eddie says, and the words seem to warp in his mouth with how much he’s not saying. “We had a fight, then Shannon got pregnant and we stopped talking. It’s the first time I’ve seen him in years. Probably the last time I'll see him in my life. Okay?”

    “Eddie, I don’t know what you think ‘friends’ means, but that was not friendship I saw.”

    *

    In which Eddie keeps secrets and Buck is incredibly normal and rational and even brave about his reaction to this.
